The truth the Elitist & Zionist corporate media denies or decides to cover up. There will be no political correctness here, I am not a politician, therefore I see no reason I need to be "politically correct". Just opinions and facts that reveal the truth, and expose the hypocrisies of the Elitist & Zionist western world. Opposition to Zionist supremacy Is not Anti-Semetic, It Is Anti-Satanic ! Opposition to thought
control Is not Politically Incorrect
or "Hateful", It Is Pro-Free speech !

There are some lessons that we should learnfrom the murder of the Washington Redskinsfootball star, Sean Taylor.

Taylor was gunned down in his Miami house.It did not have to be.

Taylor, by submitting to a bad law, broughta knife to a gun fight. To be precise, Taylorwas trying to defend himself, his fiancé andtheir child with a machete. Why would hehave not had a gun?

Simple. Taylor had been disarmed by acorrupt prosecutor and federal gun laws.

In 2005, Taylor and some friends pursuedsome men they believed had shot up his all-terrain vehicle. After it was all over, the crookswere never sought, much less prosecuted bythe authorities, but Taylor was accused ofpummeling one of the suspects and possessinga gun during the episode.

Taylor was charged by Miami-Dadeprosecutor, Michael Grieco, with threeaggravated assault charges and a misdemeanorbattery charge. Taylor faced 46 years injail. Grieco subsequently resigned when itbecame apparent that the charges were notbrought from the pursuit of justice, but werebrought to promote Grieco's moonlightingbusiness as a nightclub disc jockey.

Oh, by the way, the "witnesses" in the casehave criminal records.

As a result of the plea deal that was workedout -- the government had to save face onceit was clear that the justice system had beenprostituted by Grieco -- Taylor was unable toown a gun. He was subject to 18 months ofprobation (no jail time) which sounds like a gooddeal after having faced potentially 46 years injail. As it turns out, that deal made him defenseless.

Even though his probation ended early, that didnot mean that Taylor could legally own agun. Indeed, even though the system wasworking to expunge his record, he still mightnot ever have been able to own a gun. Why?

Taylor was disarmed for life because hepleaded guilty to a crime that could havecarried a jail sentence of over 365 days. Thatput his name into NICS (or the NationalInstant Criminal Background CheckSystem). Even if Taylor had lived longenough to see his name expunged by localauthorities -- thus, removing the stigmathat comes with having a criminalrecord -- his name would likely havealready been thrown into the federalNICS system. As a matter of course, statesfrequently fail to send expungements (fromthe local authorities) to NICS, meaning thatTaylor would probably have been preventedfrom buying a gun, expungement or no.

So Taylor's other option would have been toappeal directly to the feds and have the FBIclear his name under a federal statute knownas the McClure-Volkmer law. However, for overa decade, this option has been put into limboby Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who gotlanguage inserted into the FBI budgetpreventing them from spending any moneyto relieve law-abiding citizens from unfairgun bans.

In other words, Sean Taylor could have beenbanned for life from buying a gun.

This is one of the reasons that Gun Owners ofAmerica has opposed the Instant BackgroundCheck from the very moment that the NationalRifle Association thought it up and beganpromoting it back in the 1980s.

Gun control did not keep Taylor'smurderers from getting a gun. But itsure kept Taylor disarmed -- and dead.

One good thing has emerged from this needlesstragedy. Teammate Chris Samuels has madea potentially life-saving decision. Samuels toldSports Illustrated: "I was always scared of gunsgrowing up. But this situation has told me I needone. I'd rather be prepared than to be like Seanwas and not have a gun in his house when hereally needed it."
